Crystal structure analysis of 5-tert-butyl-8-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1 H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij[quinolin-1-one

The compound 5-tert-Butyl-8-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij] quinolin-1-one, (3) was synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopy. Its molecular structure was solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal structure analysis revealed that two different conformers of compound 3 are present in the crystal. The difference in two conformational structures was found in the arrangement of CO group to the plane of the molecule. The hydrogen bonding of the two conformers was not similar. The Hirshfeld surface analyses and two-dimensional finger plots showed that the two conformers are completely different. [Supplemental materials are available for this article.
